<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Subtrees allow subprojects to be included within a subdirectory
of the main project, optionally including the subproject&#8217;s
entire history.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, you could include the source code for a library
as a subdirectory of your application.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Subtrees are not to be confused with submodules, which are meant for
the same task. Unlike submodules, subtrees do not need any special
constructions (like <em>.gitmodules</em> files or gitlinks) be present in
your repository, and do not force end-users of your
repository to do anything special or to understand how subtrees
work. A subtree is just a subdirectory that can be
committed to, branched, and merged along with your project in
any way you want.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>They are also not to be confused with using the subtree merge
strategy. The main difference is that, besides merging
the other project as a subdirectory, you can also extract the
entire history of a subdirectory from your project and make it
into a standalone project. Unlike the subtree merge strategy
you can alternate back and forth between these
two operations. If the standalone library gets updated, you can
automatically merge the changes into your project; if you
update the library inside your project, you can "split" the
changes back out again and merge them back into the library
project.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, if a library you made for one application ends up being
useful elsewhere, you can extract its entire history and publish
that as its own git repository, without accidentally
intermingling the history of your application project.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock tip">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<div class="title">Tip</div>
</td>
<td class="content">
In order to keep your commit messages clean, we recommend that
people split their commits between the subtrees and the main
project as much as possible.  That is, if you make a change that
affects both the library and the main application, commit it in
two pieces.  That way, when you split the library commits out
later, their descriptions will still make sense.  But if this
isn&#8217;t important to you, it&#8217;s not <strong>necessary</strong>.  <em>git subtree</em> will
simply leave out the non-library-related parts of the commit
when it splits it out into the subproject later.

<div class="dlist">
<dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">add &lt;local-commit&gt;</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">add &lt;repository&gt; &lt;remote-ref&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Create the &lt;prefix&gt; subtree by importing its contents
from the given &lt;local-commit&gt; or &lt;repository&gt; and &lt;remote-ref&gt;.
A new commit is created	automatically, joining the imported
project&#8217;s history with your own.  With <em>--squash</em>, import
only a single commit from the subproject, rather than its
entire history.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">merge &lt;local-commit&gt; [&lt;repository&gt;]</dt>
<dd>
<p>Merge recent changes up to &lt;local-commit&gt; into the &lt;prefix&gt;
subtree.  As with normal <em>git merge</em>, this doesn&#8217;t
remove your own local changes; it just merges those
changes into the latest &lt;local-commit&gt;.  With <em>--squash</em>,
create only one commit that contains all the changes,
rather than merging in the entire history.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If you use <em>--squash</em>, the merge direction doesn&#8217;t always have to be
forward; you can use this command to go back in time from v2.5 to v2.4,
for example.  If your merge introduces a conflict, you can resolve it in
the usual ways.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When using <em>--squash</em>, and the previous merge with <em>--squash</em> merged an
annotated tag of the subtree repository, that tag needs to be available locally.
If &lt;repository&gt; is given, a missing tag will automatically be fetched from that
repository.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">split [&lt;local-commit&gt;] [&lt;repository&gt;]</dt>
<dd>
<p>Extract a new, synthetic project history from the
history of the &lt;prefix&gt; subtree of &lt;local-commit&gt;, or of
HEAD if no &lt;local-commit&gt; is given.  The new history
includes only the commits (including merges) that
affected &lt;prefix&gt;, and each of those commits now has the
contents of &lt;prefix&gt; at the root of the project instead
of in a subdirectory.  Thus, the newly created history
is suitable for export as a separate git repository.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>After splitting successfully, a single commit ID is printed to stdout.
This corresponds to the HEAD of the newly created tree, which you can
manipulate however you want.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Repeated splits of exactly the same history are guaranteed to be
identical (i.e. to produce the same commit IDs) as long as the
settings passed to <em>split</em> (such as <em>--annotate</em>) are the same.
Because of this, if you add new commits and then re-split, the new
commits will be attached as commits on top of the history you
generated last time, so <em>git merge</em> and friends will work as expected.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When a previous merge with <em>--squash</em> merged an annotated tag of the
subtree repository, that tag needs to be available locally.
If &lt;repository&gt; is given, a missing tag will automatically be fetched from that

it fetches the given ref from the specified remote

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">push &lt;repository&gt; [+][&lt;local-commit&gt;:]&lt;remote-ref&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>Does a <em>split</em> using the &lt;prefix&gt; subtree of &lt;local-commit&gt;
and then does a <em>git push</em> to push the result to the
&lt;repository&gt; and &lt;remote-ref&gt;.  This can be used to push your
subtree to different branches of the remote repository.  Just
as with <em>split</em>, if no &lt;local-commit&gt; is given, then HEAD is
used.  The optional leading <em>+</em> is ignored.</p>

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>These options for <em>add</em> and <em>merge</em> may also be given to <em>pull</em> (which
wraps <em>merge</em>), <em>split --rejoin</em> (which wraps either <em>add</em> or <em>merge</em>
as appropriate), and <em>push --rejoin</em> (which wraps <em>split --rejoin</em>).</p>
</div>
<div class="dlist">

<dt class="hdlist1">--squash</dt>
<dd>
<p>Instead of merging the entire history from the subtree project, produce
only a single commit that contains all the differences you want to
merge, and then merge that new commit into your project.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Using this option helps to reduce log clutter. People rarely want to see
every change that happened between v1.0 and v1.1 of the library they&#8217;re
using, since none of the interim versions were ever included in their
application.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Using <em>--squash</em> also helps avoid problems when the same subproject is
included multiple times in the same project, or is removed and then
re-added.  In such a case, it doesn&#8217;t make sense to combine the
histories anyway, since it&#8217;s unclear which part of the history belongs
to which subtree.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Furthermore, with <em>--squash</em>, you can switch back and forth between
different versions of a subtree, rather than strictly forward.  <em>git
subtree merge --squash</em> always adjusts the subtree to match the exactly
specified commit, even if getting to that commit would require undoing
some changes that were added earlier.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Whether or not you use <em>--squash</em>, changes made in your local repository
remain intact and can be later split and send upstream to the

<dd>
<p>When generating synthetic history, add &lt;annotation&gt; as a prefix to each
commit message.  Since we&#8217;re creating new commits with the same commit
message, but possibly different content, from the original commits, this
can help to differentiate them and avoid confusion.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Whenever you split, you need to use the same &lt;annotation&gt;, or else you
don&#8217;t have a guarantee that the new re-created history will be identical
to the old one.  That will prevent merging from working correctly.  git
subtree tries to make it work anyway, particularly if you use <em>--rejoin</em>,

pushing upstream.  &lt;branch&gt; must not already exist.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--ignore-joins</dt>
<dd>
<p>If you use <em>--rejoin</em>, git subtree attempts to optimize its history
reconstruction to generate only the new commits since the last
<em>--rejoin</em>.  <em>--ignore-joins</em> disables this behavior, forcing it to
regenerate the entire history.  In a large project, this can take a long
time.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">--onto=&lt;onto&gt;</dt>
<dd>
<p>If your subtree was originally imported using something other than git
subtree, its history may not match what git subtree is expecting.  In
that case, you can specify the commit ID &lt;onto&gt; that corresponds to the

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Let&#8217;s use the repository for the git source code as an example.
First, get your own copy of the git.git repository:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">

<p>gitweb (commit 1130ef3) was merged into git as of commit
0a8f4f0, after which it was no longer maintained separately.
But imagine it had been maintained separately, and we wanted to
extract git&#8217;s changes to gitweb since that time, to share with
the upstream.  You could do this:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ git subtree split --prefix=gitweb --annotate='(split) ' \
       	0a8f4f0^.. --onto=1130ef3 --rejoin \
       	--branch gitweb-latest
       $ gitk gitweb-latest
       $ git push git@github.com:whatever/gitweb.git gitweb-latest:master</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>(We use <em>0a8f4f0^..</em> because that means "all the changes from
0a8f4f0 to the current version, including 0a8f4f0 itself.")</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If gitweb had originally been merged using <em>git subtree add</em> (or
a previous split had already been done with <em>--rejoin</em> specified)
then you can do all your splits without having to remember any
weird commit IDs:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ git subtree split --prefix=gitweb --annotate='(split) ' --rejoin \
	--branch gitweb-latest2</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>And you can merge changes back in from the upstream project just
as easily:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ git subtree pull --prefix=gitweb \
	git@github.com:whatever/gitweb.git master</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Or, using <em>--squash</em>, you can actually rewind to an earlier
version of gitweb:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ git subtree merge --prefix=gitweb --squash gitweb-latest~10</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Then make some changes:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ date &gt;gitweb/myfile
$ git add gitweb/myfile
$ git commit -m 'created myfile'</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>And fast forward again:</p>
</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ git subtree merge --prefix=gitweb --squash gitweb-latest</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">

</div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre>$ ls -l gitweb/myfile</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>And you can split it out and look at your changes versus
the standard gitweb:</p>

<div class="literalblock">
